Disregarding Amy’s surprise, Andrew left with the iron-armored black lizard and headed for the wilderness.
Along the way, the silly lizard kept sniffing the ground as if it were a hunting dog.
Sometimes, even Andrew began to wonder if the ancestor of this lizard was not Nidhogg, but some Mythical Tier hunting dog.
But anyway, this was a very effective behavior. Soon, the iron-armored black lizard brought Andrew to a “garden”.
That’s for sure. It was indeed a garden. To be exact, it was a sea of various flowers and plants, and there were also some creatures flying above them.
They were Stinger Wasps!
Seeing this, Andrew’s heart sank.
These flying creatures were not ordinary animals. They were one-star Ferocious Beasts, Killer Wasps, also known as Stinger Wasps.
Among 1-star beasts, Stinger Wasps had a bad reputation. They were extremely poisonous beasts, which usually lived in groups.
Normally, there would be more than one hundred Stinger Wasps inside each hive, each of which was the size of a bowling ball.
If a two-star Ferocious Beast was attacked by more than 10 Stinger Wasps, it was very likely to be fatal, not to mention the hive in front of him, where there seemed to be more than one hundred Stinger Wasps.
The iron-armored black lizard roared in a low voice. Andrew immediately understood what it meant.
“Honey is delicious …”
To the iron-armored black lizard, the Stinger Wasps’ hive was nothing but a huge honey jar.
Hearing this, mixed feelings crept over Andrew’s mind.
This Stinger Wasp hive, which even three-star Ferocious Beasts would fear, was seen as a honey jar by the lizard. But after all, even the rattlesnakes could not hurt it. “These Stinger Wasps are gonna have a nice day.” Andrew thought to himself.
“Go.”
Andrew no longer suppressed its nature and gave it an order to fight with Stinger Wasps.
After getting Andrew’s permission, the iron-armored black lizard was set free and rushed towards the hive at once. Soon, it rushed into the territory of the Stinger Wasps.
Buzz! Buzz! The Stinger Wasps instantly became alert. They began to buzz to warn the intruder.
However, the iron-armored black lizard didn’t care about their threat at all. Instead, it picked up its pace towards the hive as if the hive were its own backyard, completely ignoring the Stinger Wasps flying around it.
The Stinger Wasps were provoked by the lizard’s intrusion. In an instant, countless Stinger Wasps gathered and began to attack the iron-armored black lizard. One after another, the wasps began to sting the lizard.
The iron-armored black lizard let out a roar because of the pain.
In less than ten seconds, the iron-armored black lizard’s body had been stung by more than ten wasps. Although the toxin of the wasps had no effect on it, it could still feel the pain when stung by the Stinger Wasps.
Soon, the iron-armored black lizard’s ferocity was triggered. Under the attacks of the Stinger Wasps, It began to rampage.
In that way, the iron-armored black lizard rushed straight towards the Stinger Wasps’ hive without any hesitation and started to wreak havoc on it.
Then, more Stinger Wasps swarmed out of the hive. However, no matter how they attacked, they couldn’t the iron-armored black lizard from destroying their home.
In the end, under the attack of the iron-armored black lizard, the Stinger Wasps’ hive no longer existed.
Numerous dead bodies of Stinger Wasps were scattered around the iron-armored black lizard.
Not far away, Andrew had been watching through the whole battle. After it was over, he walked into the territory of the Stinger Wasps.
Around the hive was a sea of flowers. Some of these plants were actually herbs, which were very useful. If he took them back to the city, he could sell them for some crystal coins.
Just when Andrew was about to pick the herbs, the system notice beeped in his mind.
“Atavism herbs found.”
Andrew’s attention was drawn by the niotice. Soon, a series of information popped up in his mind.
[ White-spirit grass ]
Status: Healthy
Aptitude: One-star
Atavistic Status: Atavistic. The final stage of atavism is “three-star Blue-spirit grass”
Next Atavism: Ten White-spirit grass
Effect: The Blue-spirit grass can increase your spiritual power. Due to its rapid reproduction, its medicinal effect has been greatly reduced. The White-spirit grass is only able to refresh your mind.
Seeing this, Andrew looked at the green and white grass in his hand in surprise.
Herbs could also undergo atavism? And it could even turn into a three-star Blue-spirit grass that could increase one’s spiritual power? Amazing!
One’s spiritual power was not something like physical strength, which could be improved with constant training. It was something that one was born with, which meant it was a tall order if one wanted to improve his or her spiritual power.
To beast tamers, spiritual power was an extremely significant attribute, which was even more important than their physical strength. This was because it represented how many beasts a beast tamer could control.
The stronger one’s spiritual power was, the more beasts he or she could control, and vice versa.
Therefore, herbs that could increase one’s spiritual power were extremely precious.
Looking at the dozens of White-spirit herbs in his hands, it occurred to Andrew that it was time to start the atavism.
Without any hesitation, Andrew voiced out, “Atavism started.”
Then, Andrew was surprised to see that the White-spirit herbs he picked just now emitted white light.
After the white light faded away, ten of the White-spirit herbs were gone. What was left was a herb that gave off faint yellow light.
System Notice: [ Yellow-spirit grass ]
Status: Healthy
Aptitude: Two-star
Atavism Status: Atavistic. The final stage of atavism is “three-star Blue-spirit grass’.
Next Atavism: Ten Yellow-spirit grass
Effect: The yellow-spirit grass can temporarily increase your spiritual power.
Seeing this, Andrew understood what was going on.
After the atavism, ten White-spirit grass can become a Yellow-spirit grass. That’s to say, a Blue-spirit grass equaled ten Yellow-spirit grass. To put it bluntly, if Andrew wanted to get a Blue-spirit grass that could enhance his spiritual power, he needed at least 100 White-spirit grass.
Looking at the White-spirit grass all over the place, Andrew was excited. He wondered how many Blue-spirit grass he would get if he made all the White-spirit grass undergo atavism.
Although the Yellow-spirit grass could also increase one’s spiritual power, it was merely a temporary effect. Compared to the permanent effect of the Blue-spirit grass, it sucked.
Hence, the most important thing to do was to get the Blue-spirit grass! Andrew needed to take action right now!
Without any hesitation, Andrew continued to pick the White-spirit grass on the ground. Even the iron-armored black lizard was asked by him to help with the picking.
A little later, all the White-spirit grass had been picked.
“Make all the White-spirit grass undergo atavism.”
A moment later, a white light flashed across the herbs. All the White-spirit grass had undergone atavism.
Andrew counted and found that he had obtained 25 Yellow-spirit grass.
“Activate atavism again.”
A light flashed again, and Andrew found that in front of him, there were two small stalks of grass emitting a faint blue light.
They were Blue-spirit grass!
As a system notice flashed, the information of the Blue-spirit grass appeared in his mind.
[ Blue-spirit grass ]
Status: Healthy
Aptitude: Three-star
Atavism Status: Not atavisic.
Effect: The Blue-spirit grass has the effect of increasing a beast tamer’s spiritual power.
He succeeded! It could increase his spiritual power!
If an ordinary beast tamer wanted to increase his spiritual power, one thing he or she could do was to own a more powerful beast, which would increase his or her spiritual power. Otherwise, the spiritual power could only be gained with time going by. But if a beast tamer was too old, the spiritual power would even decrease, which would greatly impair his or her power.
Of course, there was another way, which was to meditate to enhance one’s spiritual power. However, meditation would take a long time. Unless one was a genius, or he or she would spend years enhancing the spiritual power.
Besides the methods mentioned above, one could also gain spiritual power enhancement from some special herbs, such as the Blue-spirit grass in Andrew’s hands.
However, herbs that could improve one’s spiritual power were extremely hard to find. Therefore, it could be imagined that if the two Blue-spirit grass were sold to the market, it would become a piece of breaking news..
